HC Deb 12 November 1918 vol 110 c2478
49. Colonel ASHLEY

asked the Prime Minister whether on demobilisation the urgent claims of the elder married men to immediate release will be favourably considered?

Mr. MACPHERSON

My right hon. Friend has asked me to reply. The claims of married men to early release have been recognised, and it has been provided in the scheme of demobilisation that, other conditions being equal, married men shall be selected in preference to single men for the drafts for disposal.
